"In the name of control"

The world today is a complicated place. More co[m]pliCated than perhaps for all of the time that people have existed. WHY well maybe it's because we are all living together now and mixing all the cultures that have created their own separate ways of existing<--that's one complicated thing to organize in our mind.

I think sometimes about the psychological challenges of the real world, how varied it is, and how diverse the different ways of living are. I like to think personally that I have stuff figured out<> that I can live the way that things make sense to me.

Yet the other world keeps mixing it>>>I'm in D.C. Wash today and ?I see all the mansions that I can never afford and consider what that means to me.

Yet if I can live in my own mind universe (that's short for seeing the world only my way and ignoring everything else) I can imagine beeing happier. Is this a challenge for psychology or sociology--and Economics?

Basically; what I'm wondering dear friend is what do psychological problem solving skills get one in life? Is it the chance to see the world better and accomplish more, to give one the freedom from some kind of distant burndening memories/ or is it just a way to MAKE believe that things are good/well/ok.


PLZ don't take it as a question about me personally, this is just my message saying what does psychology mean to you?




P.S. I am promising now that in the near sometime future there will be some more interactive material on here--maybe like a fun survey or even an essay or how about an interview with a local psychologically inspired individual; whatever that means.

psychology is too broad a term to reference to. everyone has their own psychology. to most people in this country, unfortunatly, its a business. i like to romantically think that in my life, its the name of the game love, that is psychology. and i mean this subtly emotionally, arbitrarily sexually, and tragically incendiary.

-in the name of the author, gun, and the wholly secret, amen.

ahahahahahah
ok, have it your way friend.
but what do you mean by "gun"?

and incendiary-are you referencing the burn that one feels when losing a hand of cards

exactly that. it is utterly tragic. it just adds to the potpourri of "magic" words that really gets one thinking.
